Homing Pigeons Avoid Flying Over Large Bodies Of Water Preferring To Fly Around Them Instead Assume That A Pigeon Rele 1 (298.69 KiB) Viewed 62 times

Homing pigeons avoid flying over large bodies of water, preferring to fly around them instead. Assume that a pigeon released from a boat 3 miles from the shore of a lake (point B in the figure) flies first to point P on the shore and then along the straight edge of the lake to reach its home at L. If L is 6 miles from point A, the point on the shore closest to the 4 as much energy per mile to fly over water as over land, find the location of point P, which boat, and if a pigeon needs minimizes energy used. 3 miles B A 6 miles Point P is miles away from point A. (Type exact answers, using radicals as needed.)
